Rescued from Abuse and Neglect, Formerly Abandoned Dog Finds a Bright Future Ahead

Rescued from Abuse and Neglect, Formerly Abandoned Dog Finds a Bright Future Ahead

Animal shelters do amazing work, providing many animals with a second chance. However, there are certain cases that are especially difficult. It’s always tough and heartbreaking to see a dog that has suffered a lot from neglect and abuse.

In a recent incident, a shelter in North Carolina was greatly impacted when they took in a mistreated dog. The shelter, sharing their feelings, expressed being “shocked and gutted” by the dog’s condition. They are now fully committed to making sure she gets the best possible life from here on out.

At Brother Wolf Animal Rescue in North Carolina, rescuers were deeply saddened and upset when they brought in a 4-month-old dog named Peaches who had been mistreated. The shelter shared on Facebook, saying, “Shocked and Gutted. “This one is hard.” They described Peaches’ condition as shocking, with infected skin, missing fur, and clear signs of neglect and mistreatment.

In another Facebook post, the shelter expressed their sadness about Peaches’ situation, revealing that she had been neglected her entire life, enduring four months without love, proper care, or even basic necessities. They attributed her poor condition to the lack of attention and care she received.

Even though the situation was really sad, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue was committed to giving Peaches another shot at a better life. They reassured her, saying, “Peaches, you are safe. We will do everything we can to save you.” Furthermore, the shelter requested people to send words of encouragement that they could read to Peaches. The response was amazing, with many messages conveying love and support for the pup going through a tough time.

“Praying for you, sweet Peaches. You are safe now and will be loved forever,” one commenter wrote.

“Peaches, stay strong!” another wrote. “Your best life has just started. Prayers to your caregivers and medical team for their healing hands and loving hearts!”

Maybe those supportive words did wonders because Peaches has been improving. She got urgent medical attention, got stabilized, and is currently staying with a foster family. In a later update, the shelter shared that Peaches has a tough road ahead in her recovery. She’s dealing with health issues like mild hypothermia, a slight cough, Demodex mange, Coccidia, a staph infection, mild anemia, and an elevated white blood cell count.

Update: Sadly, even with the shelter team giving Peaches their best love and care, asking for supportive words, and searching for a loving forever home, things didn’t go well. On November 12, after a peaceful sleep, Peaches didn’t wake up. The shelter team lost the opportunity to give Peaches the second chance they hoped she would get.

Even though Peaches is no longer with us, we will always remember her.

“We eased her pain, showed her love, and in return, she showed us love back,” Brother Wolf Animal Rescue wrote today. “She showed us tiny glimmers of what could have been, playing with a toy, giving kisses, and showing us her goofy personality.”

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects

These Pics Are Art and the Artists Are Insects

Flying insects move so quickly that they are hard to follow, but new technology and some smart ideas have helped Spanish photographer Xavi Bou do just that. After spending 10 years focusing on birds in flight for his Ornithographies project, he turned his attention to insects.

For Entomographies, he uses high-speed video footage taken by Adrian Smith, an insect expert at North Carolina State University, to study and record how insects move. Bou then picks multiple frames and combines them into single images that show the fast movements of one or more insects through space and time.

With Smith’s help, Bou has captured the aerial tricks of wasps, the jumps of leafhoppers, and the fluttering of butterflies in amazing detail. He hopes that by doing this, he can make people more aware of the decline in important insect populations around the world.

1. Zebra longwing

This butterfly, which is common in many areas of the Americas, really fits its name. It can fly very high with just a few flaps of its large wings.

2. Two-lined spittlebug

This insect, which comes from the eastern United States, is often seen as a pest because it likes to eat grass. Its springy back legs can make it jump into the air like a rocket.

3. Yellow-collared scape moth

Unlike most moths, this North American species flies during the day. Its shiny blue-black wings sparkle in the sunlight.

4. Ailanthus webworm moths

These tropical moths have spread farther north in the U.S. Because of their larval host, the invasive tree of heaven, they are now one of the most common backyard moths in the country.

5. Common stonefly

Mostly found in eastern North America, this insect starts its life as an underwater nymph in forested streams or rivers. Then it leaves the water, sheds its skin, and becomes an adult with wings.

6. Green lacewings

Eighty-seven species of this insect have been found in the U.S. and Canada. Since they eat a lot of unwanted plant pests like aphids and mites, they are often used to naturally control these pests.

7. Grapevine beetle

This insect, fittingly named, eats the leaves and fruit of grapevines, both wild and farmed, but it doesn’t do much damage to the plants. As a type of scarab beetle, it often flies in a curved path.

8. Oak treehopper and green treehopper

Treehoppers are known for their uniquely shaped pronotum, the part behind their head, which often looks like plant parts to hide from predators. They can jump well thanks to special muscles.

9. Banded orange

This brightly colored butterfly can be found from Mexico to Brazil. Before mating season, male butterflies look for mineral salts, sometimes even drinking salty fluids from the skin, eyes, and nostrils of other animals.

10. Sapho longwing

Longwings can live for 6 to 7 months, longer than most butterflies. This type, found from Mexico to Ecuador, has shiny blue wings, which is why it’s also called the Sapphire longwing.

Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer

Eagle and Fox in an Epic Midair Battle Over a Rabbit, Were Captured by a Photographer

Wildlife photography often depends on the perfect combination of good timing and the right place.

That’s exactly what happened when Kevin Ebi, an experienced wildlife photographer, captured an incredible battle between a bald eagle and a red fox, both competing for a rabbit meal.

In a detailed blog post, Ebi shares the fascinating series of events that unfolded while he was photographing foxes in San Juan Island National Historical Park, located in Washington state.

Ebi noticed a lively group of eight fox kits as they began their hunting lessons. Suddenly, they spotted a rabbit, and a thrilling chase ensued. Eventually, one of the foxes emerged as the winner, proudly carrying the rabbit across the field.

Ebi shares what happened at that moment: “As I followed the fox with my camera, a sudden bald eagle cry caught my attention. It was swiftly approaching, clearly aiming for the rabbit. I quickly focused on the fox, anticipating a quick turnover of events.”

To Ebi’s astonishment, instead of a quick surrender, the situation turned into a intense fight in the air.

The eagle used its power to lift the fox and rabbit high up in the sky. Even while airborne, the fox attempted to break free by swinging back and forth.

In the end, the eagle moved the rabbit to its other claw, causing the fox to let go. The intense battle came to an end in less than 10 seconds.

For those worried about the fox’s well-being after the fight, Ebi reassures that it was not injured. The fox swiftly bounced back from the encounter and resumed its playful behavior with the other young foxes, showing no visible wounds from the aerial clash.
